Mrs.Yoder,& family
Myself & family are thinking of you and are in our prayers. Scott a thought for you is, I remember in Fla.the first time I met your dad at the race track,it was real cold,and he told you to sit he front of him, and he took the blanket he was sitting on and put it around you and held you in his arms to keep you warm,and said thats my son. Then laughed at me for buying a $30,00 pair of socks to keep my feet warm. Keep that thought in your heat scott.

Dear Geri,
Thank you for sharing with me the story of how you and John met. Fifty-three years and you tell it like it was yesterday.
I smile when I remember how he would call for you from the kitchen..."Gera-DEEN!" Then grin at us.
I hope your memories of that lifetime of love will help you through this tough time.

Big John was a great guy that will be remimbered by many. He was a great partner and landlord--more important a great freind. He leaves big foot steps but some how with all his traning I beleive you all will walk in his steps.
God will put his hand on your shoulders as you walk the rest of the way throught this life.
God speed John- Rest Well- We will all see you soon. Did you take your Bibs?
